Improvement in galloon trimmings for under-garments



UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIoEO ERNST BREDT, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

IMPROVEMENT IN GALLOONTRIMMINGS FOR UNDER-GARMENTS.

Specication forming part of Lctters Patent No. 58,583, dated October 9, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERNST BREDT, of the city and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use a certain new and useful Improvement in Galloon Trimmin gs for Under- Garments, Sto., which I term the scalloped and iiuted galloon 5 and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, whereiny Figure 1 is an elevation of a piece of such galloon with a singlescalloped corded edge. Fig. 2 is a similar view with two scalloped and corded edges on the luted galloon, and Fig. 3 represents a piece of galloon with a scalloped and corded edge on opposite sides of the plain heading.

Galloons have heretofore been wovon in a tinted or corrugated form, but they were not, as far as known, adapted to use as a trimming for under-garments for ladies or children, because the edge was either plain or else simply cut out in scallops that when washed presented an injured appearance.

The nature of my said invention consists in a iiuted galloon formed with a scalloped and corded edge, the same being a new article of manufacture.

The corded edge increases the beautyin the appearance of the galloon, gives to it the scalloped appearance, and increases the strength.

rI he heading or flat portion a of the galloon is to be woven either plain or ornamental. 'The iuted or corrugated portion b is to be woven in the manner heretofore employed, in which the finte or corrugation is obtained by leaving certain of the foundation-warps below the shed while the weaving of the flute progresses, and then the whole of the warps unite to form the fabric at the bottom of each corrugation, or between one. ilute and the next.

The scalloped and corded edge is produced by a oord so laid that it will be drawn nearest to the heading by the lilling-thrcads of the fluting or corrugation, and kept farthest away from said head by all the warps and filling between the flutes.

The mechanism for weaving my improved galloon may be of any desired character, and the movements of the warps and of the cord at the edge be regulated by any usual jacquard or other movement.. A

The cordin g may be introduced in a scalloped form between the edge and heading, aswell as at the edge, and the corded flutcd fabric may be made on both sides of the heading or center, if desired, as seen in Fig. 3.

Thefluted fabric may be woven with a flounce or tuck between the edge and the heading, and to the edge of this tuck or ounce the cording be applied in the scalloped form aforesaid.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A galloon trimming for under-garments and similar articles formed with a corded and scalloped edge to a fluted or corrugated fabric woven with a heading or center, as specified.

In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this 28th day of May, A. D. 1866.

ERNST BREDT.
